We had hoped the house was ready to move in to, but not. Schedule
was May 1st , however prior to our arrival we got the information
that paint outside needed to be done, bathroom needed tiles and a few more
things was still outstanding.
It is back to my previous experience with lack of being
proactive and organizes a bit too late things that at times need more time than
expected. OK our great architect, we know what you are good at. And coming to
the house now just days/weeks prior finish we can see our dream house become
more than what we were dreaming of. Cannot wait to move in! So please get
finished, the furniture’s are on its way by June 1st.
When we were at the house first week in May the kitchen
installation was made as well the installation of alarm. Minor challenges with
the counter top, but that IKEA would fix for us. Alarm works well and we can
make sure that the workers have put on the alarm in the evening.
In a way it has been a reality show for us, fun for us when
the insurance people came to prepare an offer. That we had the responsible
people to explain what had been done, in addition knew our main construction
company assisting it to go a bit smother.
It was a sunny day and so it was the day after when we
visited IKEA again in Florence to organize bunker beds for the kids rooms and a
bed for us along with an island for the kitchen.
We are just looking forward to spend 6 weeks summer vacation
in our new home this summer. I have to head to the house before that to put
most of it in order with the furniture and all our goods coming from Norway.
40m3 of what we have forgotten what is, ok most important is our dining table
for the kitchen. Kitchen will be the main room for us when we have family
and friends visiting. So if you think the kitchen looks large, yes it is and
there is a good reason for it.
My dear friends, just a few weeks and you will see the house
painted, bricks on the sidewalks and bathroom finished. In addition you will
find me cutting grass and make some plans for the outside area.
Until next time, it will be June.
